News) About 20 triathletes sickened after Oklahoma City event (Tulsa World) Resolved Question: Wayman Tisdale former NBA star dead at age 44? Your thoughts? Wayman Tisdale, a three-time All-American at Oklahoma who played 12 seasons in the NBA and later became a top jazz musician, died after a two-year battle with cancer. He was 44. Tisdale died Friday morning at St. John Medical Center in Tulsa, hospital spokeswoman Joy McGill said. Edit: I don’t know too much about his basketball career. I know him best from his career in the “Smooth Jazz” industry. Dude is practically a house hold name in San diego California! I use to listen to his music when I was stationed in SD at the Naval School Of Health Sciences. For a former basketball player turned bass player, he could most definitely hold his own with the best out here. RIP bro! You and your music will be truly missed. Resolved Question: Are illegals the problem with our healthcare system? Should taxpayers pay for their healthcare? •In Texas, where the state comptroller estimates illegal immigrants cost hospitals $1.3 billion in 2006, the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston is considering denying cancer care to such immigrants. •State legislatures across the country are seeking to limit the costs to taxpayers of illegal immigration, including health care benefits. In May, Oklahoma lawmakers restricted illegal immigrants from receiving most public benefits; other states, such as Nebraska, are seeking to follow suit. A bill introduced in Indiana this month would make hospitals report how much they spend on illegal immigrants. •On a national level, an effort to add legal immigrant children to the State Children’s Health Insurance Program was blocked in the Senate last year. Instead, lawmakers added language to ensure that illegal immigrants were excluded. In California, a 2004 study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform put the state’s annual cost at $1.4 billion. Similar studies in Colorado and Minnesota in 2005 came up with much smaller estimates: $31 million and $17 million, respectively. One thing is clear: Undocumented immigrants are driving up the number of people without health insurance. The Pew Hispanic Center estimates that 59% of the nation’s illegal immigrants are uninsured, compared with 25% of legal immigrants and 14% of U.S. citizens. Illegal immigrants represent about 15% of the nation’s 47 million uninsured people — and about 30% of the increase since 1980. I for one do not think it is my responsbility to pay for their healthcare. Why do you democrats feel that it is the country’s responsibility? http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2008-01-21-immigrant-healthcare_N.htm Resolved Question: Why are Republicans against contraception, which would prevent abortions? “The issue surfaced this week after Carly Fiorina, a high-profile McCain campaigner and possible running mate, wondered whether there isn’t a bit of sexism underlying health coverage determinations. “Let me give you a real, live example, which I’ve been hearing a lot about from women,” the former Hewlett-Packard CEO said Monday, while discussing women’s health issues in Washington. “There are many health-insurance plans that will cover Viagra, but won’t cover birth-control medication. Those women would like a choice.” But the comments don’t mesh with McCain’s record on the issue. Twice in the last decade — in 2003 and 2005 — the Arizona senator has voted against legislation requiring insurance plans that cover prescription drugs to also cover birth control. Confronted with Fiorina’s sentiments, McCain was stuck: If he replied that it is, indeed, unfair that contraceptives are not covered, then he flip-flops on his earlier votes; if he answered no, then he risks alienating women voters. Instead, he punted. “I don’t recall the vote,” McCain said. “I’ve cast thousands of votes in the Senate.” Congress passed legislation requiring that prescription birth control be covered for federal employees. The mandate, however, didn’t include the private sector.” “Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain’s campaign officials boast he has “consistently voted against taxpayer-funded contraception programs.” And Mr. McCain reports that his adviser on sexual-health matters is Sen. Tom Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma, who leads campaigns claiming condoms are unsafe and opposing emergency contraception.” http://washingtonindependent.com/view/mccains-birth Paramedic, I had at first intended to post this in the political section, but YA chose this section, and I decided that it is certainly a women’s health issue.
